Digital nomads

Since 21 November 2025, a foreigner who is not a citizen of the EU or the EEA may obtain a temporary residence permit as a digital nomad (Article 51a of ZTuj-2). The conditions are:

• employment or work under a contract with a company established outside Slovenia, or self-employment abroad, with the work carried out remotely;
• a valid travel document and adequate health insurance;
• means of subsistence on a monthly basis of at least twice the average monthly net salary in Slovenia;
• no grounds for refusal.

The permit is issued for no more than one year and is not extended; a foreigner may apply for a new permit six months after the previous one has expired. As a rule, the application is lodged with a diplomatic mission or consular post abroad; a foreigner who already resides lawfully in Slovenia may also lodge it with an administrative unit.
